    Exactly what I was thinking! Might only be a Falcon six for the girls car, but it has a little "extra", So how about a Hi-PO color scheme?!?!

    Would it be sacrilegious to paint the 302 going in my '54 Ford Olds gold? I mean, a 302 isn't exactly the most traditional engine in the world, so I suppose an Olds gold Ford 302 isn't that much worse.

    I have a pint of POR-15 Ford blue already, but I'm seriously considering changing my mind after seeing this thread.
     
  14. My '56 324. Ain't no way it was going to be factory green.

    351 Windsor isn't exactly the most traditional engine in the world either, but I did it anyway and I'm glad I did.

    If you don't drive it much and it floats your boat OK, I did a SBC years ago with a gold tunnel ram and the gold anodized Moroso valve covers and oil pan against a black block even had the gold hose clamp covers,it was PIA keeping it clean.After a year I changed it.

    Gotta be just about the sweetest nailhead I've ever seen! Like this set-up best, tri-power next, dual-quads last, ...all tastey though!
     
  28. Saw this thread awhile back and like it. So mine wound up gold to in the end. Not finished yet but getting there slowly.
